@WFLA It is a passing lane
Should be a ticket

[TampaBayRealEstate @TBayReal_Estate]

@ByronDonalds Property Tax overall is a form of theft

🚨 Tampa Bay’s biggest housing problem isn’t inventory anymore

It’s affordability

More homes are hitting the market
but buyers are being squeezed by:
✅insurance
✅taxes
✅HOA fees
✅mortgage rates

A house is only worth what someone can afford.

🚨 TAMPA BAY MARKET ALERT 🚨

Tampa-St. Pete is now among the U.S. metros with the highest share of price cuts as buyers push back against affordability challenges and higher mortgage rates.

Yet builders keep adding supply.

More inventory. More competition. More pressure.

@jonbrooks Warsh is a Trump yes man
He will be lowering rates

🚨 Florida isn’t debating a property tax cut anymore.

Governor DeSantis is pushing to dramatically reduce and eventually eliminate property taxes on homesteaded homes.

If approved, it could reshape affordability, home values, and local budgets across Tampa Bay.

@WorkElizab He can do it within his property lines.
Hopefully it was done correctly with permits
If so, that means inspections allowed this.

🚨 Hillsborough County unemployment hit 4.6% in April, up from 4.5% in March and 3.4% a year ago.

That’s a 1.2% jump YoY.

Jobs drive housing. Rising unemployment can mean fewer buyers, more stress, and growing pressure on homeowners.

What happens if this trend continues? 👇

@merican_great Just a side hustle
